Gateway FX7024 - can it be done
Hey. I just came into possession of a Gateway minitower model FX7024. It's got a Systemboard motherboard, I think. I'm not sure what model, though it has integrated graphics. I know it's got a G33 chipset and the FSB is clocked at 1066 MHz…

What video card do you recommend
Hey. I'm looking to get a decent video card to replace the GeForce 8800 GT that I borrowed from a friend. I'm looking at either a GeForce 9800 GTX+, a GTX260, or maybe even a GTX280. Can anyone tell me if these cards are sufficiently…

GMA 3100 Woes and Card Recommendations
Hey. I've got a motherboard with the Intel G33 chipset and onboard GMA 3100. Mind you that's very different from an X3100. Anyway, with a GeForce 8800 GT the system installed and booted just fine. But when I take out the 8800 and hook the…

Hi, Where do I start? -Hardware
I'm looking into building a powerful machine at low cost and installing Mac OS X 10.5 on it. I'm thinking of a Core 2 Quad 2.4 GHz and a generic Intel LGA775 motherboard with integrated graphics. Can anyone make any recommendations for…

iATKOS boot problem
“To be more clear, (I'm assuming you have chameleon 2 - this is the default for iATKOS v7) you need to press any key at the bootloader screen (the screen with the progress bar). Then you need to select your hard drive and press TAB. Now type…”

What to do before installing
“One thing to keep in mind is that you may have to tweak your BIOS settings before even the installer will boot correctly. Post back here if you have any problems. Good luck!”

Gateway FX7024 - can it be done
“Hmm. Just now saw your posts. I don't have the machine at hand right now, but if a few days I should be able to get back with my BIOS settings. Ok, when I try an install, if I use the original IDE DVD drive the disk won't boot. I had to tak…”

Gateway FX7024 - can it be done
“Alright. I didn't get any responses so I just went ahead and did it. For anyone with similar hardware that wants to try this in the future I'll describe what I had to do. For starters, I set up the BIOS to use AHCI for SATA and disabled all…”

HD 3650 Glitches After Update to 10.5.7
“That sounds like something's wrong with the WebKit engine. It could have something to do with the Safari 4 update. Does the same thing happen in FireFox?”

What video card do you recommend
“Interestingly, I just saw on newegg a GTX 285 "for Mac". I read one review of someone who put it in their Mac Pro. I guess that means that there are drivers for a GTX 285 and it's fully supported? Also, what would the difference be between …”

What video card do you recommend
“Ah, thanks for the reply. I suppose I could go with the 9800, but I wouldn't mind something a little more powerful (especially for games in Windows). No one knows anything about the other cards I mentioned?”

Hi, Where do I start? -Hardware
“From what I'm seeing the processor needs to support at least the sse2 instruction set, which the Athlon XP series doesn't. Am I correct in that the older specs I mentioned won't run even 10.4?”

“Thanks for the response, I have one question. Do you need to find a motherboard with EFI or can it work with any PC motherboard?”
